Floyd W. Diamond went to be with the Lord on Feb. 5, 2013. He was born Nov. 23, 1930, in eastern Maine.
He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Cecile; children, Gail (Harry) Ebbeson of Texas, and Bill (Beverly) of Texas; six grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Robert Diamond of Maine.
He was preceded in death by his brother. Albert; mother, Hazel; father, Charles; and a nephew, Bruce, all from Maine.
Floyd, Cecile and children moved to Lake County in 1964.
Floyd was a well known heavy equipment operator, mechanic, service station owner and proudly a retired Lake County Sheriff's deputy.
He was very active in his community. He served on the water board, was a volunteer fireman for Nice and was on the Lucerne Community Neighborhood Watch patrol, as well as serving in many more ways – too numerous to mention.
Floyd lived his life on his own terms and always encouraged others to do the same. He will be greatly missed.
His wishes were to be cremated and no services.
He wished his family and friends to celebrate his life and have no sadness.
He lived a full and satisfied life and he will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace, Floyd Diamond.
